What type of housing is in Dundee?
Dundee has a high proportion of tenement flats, particularly in the West End and around the city centre. These are mostly Victorian sandstone buildings with solid walls. Broughty Ferry has a mix of Victorian villas and modern housing. The Hilltown and Lochee areas have a mix of inter-war council housing and newer developments.

Roofs and solar panel suitability in Dundee
Dundee tenements typically have shared slate roofs with good south-facing potential. The city's position on the north bank of the Tay means many properties have unobstructed rooflines. Broughty Ferry villas often have large, clean roof planes ideal for solar. Shading from chimney stacks is the most common issue we find on Dundee surveys.
How much electricity do Dundee households typically use?
Dundee has a mix of gas central heating and electric heating, with some newer developments using heat pumps. The city has a higher proportion of electric heating than the Scottish average, particularly in older tenement conversions, making solar generation particularly valuable for reducing electricity bills.
Does battery storage make sense in Dundee?
Battery storage works well for Dundee's suburban homes and Broughty Ferry properties, where there is typically utility room or garage space. For tenement flats in the city centre, a battery may be feasible where internal space allows. Your survey checks whether the numbers work for your situation.
How much daylight does Dundee get through the year?
Dundee is one of Scotland's sunniest cities, receiving around 1,500 hours of sunshine per year thanks to its sheltered position on the Tay estuary. The city benefits from a rain shadow effect from the Sidlaw Hills to the north. This makes solar generation slightly better here than in many other parts of Scotland.
